Kevin Nolan hopeful Curtis Thompson injury is matter of weeks, not months

Kevin Nolan is hoping that Curtis Thompson's hamstring injury in Notts County's pre-season friendly win over Basford United is not too serious and will warrant just weeks rather than months of being on the sidelines.

The midfielder came on at half time for the Magpies at Greenwich Avenue but had to be taken off midway through the second period of the 2-0 victory.

Speaking about the injury to Thompson, Nolan told the Nottingham Post: "It didn't look good, but speaking to him afterwards he said that he didn't feel anything pop in his hamstring.

"He said he felt it twinge and I am hoping it's not as serious as I first thought it would be.

"I hope it's something that will lead him back on to the training pitch in a matter of weeks rather than months.

"So fingers crossed but we will only know more later in the week when we've given him a proper look over."
